FIG

Partner Organisation

FIG Website

Based between the two sister sites of Elder Stubbs Allotment and Makespace Central, Fig works with artists, writers, designers, horticulturalists and communities to support the development of innovative new work. Fig aims to open up creative spaces where art, people, and plants meet, and engage imaginatively with the key ecological issues of our time: biodiversity loss, pollution, and climate change. Fig uses its horticultural and studio spaces to support alternative models for the arts and experimental processes like growing materials and edible architecture.
